Neapolitan woe: Meret is out for a month

Napoli’s season isn’t going well, but seeing your first-choice goalkeeper picking up a severe injury really is an indicator of bad luck.If the match against Monza didn’t take a worse turn than a dull draw, it’s due to Alex Meret’s concentration, who despite a physical problem remained between the goalposts and saved the penalty taken by Matteo Pessina. The Napoli goalkeeper lasted only a few more minutes before leaving the field to make way for the third-choice goalkeeper, Nikita Contini, and not Gollini, who had not been called up due to a left ankle injury. Gollini has now returned to training with the rest of the team, but the bad news concerns Meret.##NAJAVA_MECA_7775485##The player underwent examinations to determine the extent of the injury. It turned out to be a second-degree injury to the semimembranosus muscle of the left leg (lower part of the thigh). The recovery time is estimated at around 20-30 days, and he will miss the league matches against Torino and Salernitana and probably also the Italian Super Cup semifinal against Fiorentina, with doubts about a potential final. The club currently does not plan to intervene in the transfer market, considering Gollini to be reliable, as he has not been disappointed when called upon.
